I954 For The Blind The 34th annual report of the Maritime division of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind comes to hand while an ap- peal is still being made for support for the future. The report deals, of course, with dollars and cents but, much more import- ant, it deals with human beings and their eyesight. The work of the Instittlte has two main facets. The first embraces service to those who are now blind and the second, assist- ance and guidance for those who still can see in order to preserve or improve their present vision. There were 673 personsgso served by examination, glasses or operation during the year. Eye care was provided for 145 blind persons resulting in 69 being remoied from the blind group. No less than 227 new cases of blindness, however, were registered so that in spite of deaths the total number was 2924 or three more than a year ago. The number of blind per- sons in Prince Edward Island is 163. In the opening paragraph of the ITP011 appreciation is expressed for the interest and work of the late Col. K. S. Rogers who was chairman of the Prince Edward Island Advisory Board at the time of his death. The report also expresses an understand- able pride in the fact that the Institute's managing director, Col. E. A. Baker, him- gelf blind, should have been elected fll'Sl president of the World Council for the Blind and that another member has be- become president of the American Assoc- iation of Workers for the Blind. Truly, the Institute has succeeded not only in enab- lind the blind to help themselves but also to help others. Brltlsli Farming The National Farmers' Union of England and Wales recently called attention to the fact that agriculture is Britain's biggest single industry, currently worth more than 551,200 million per year, or three times the Value of all the motor cars, motor-cycles, and commercial vehicles produced in Brit- pin in 1953. It is calculated that the post- war agricultural expansion program has meant a saving of at least i400 million per year on the cost of imported food, or al- most enough to pay for Britainls imports ;of cotton to keep l.ancashire's mills spin- ning, rubber to keep the wheels of trans- port turning, timber to keep the building program going. and tea to keep the nation going. Put in other terms, the extra food saved as much currency as was earned by . the export of ships, aircraft, motor cars, commercial vehicles and tractors, and cot- ton piece goods. ,Last yeariwas R good agricultural year ,' In Britain and production of bread grains ,, - was up l3.R per cent; sugar beets, 23.4 per K , cents; potatoes 5.2 per cent. Increased pro- duction was to a considerable extent due to increased yields. Britain's food bill is a very large one. In 1952. Britain imported 40 per cent of all the world's export trade in food, 70 per cent of the meat exported, 73 per cent of the butter, l2 per cent of the cheese, and 20 per cent of the wheat. It is reported that British farms produce all the fresh milk needed, practically all the potatoes and outs, more than four- fifths of the shell eggs 'ind vegetables. about two-thirds of the ('lll'CElSS meat and offal, lvirlcy and condensed milk, nearly half of the fruit, dried milk, bacon and ham, and nearly I quarter of the sugar and wheat. A Dream comes True Marian Andcrson, the distinguished Negro contralto, says that when she was in high school back in the middle thirties her fondcst hope was that someday she might sing opera, "at the Metropolitan. if that could be." Well. since then Miss An- derson has come a long way, and today she is recognized as one of the world's outstand- ing singers. In London, Paris, Rome, and other great cities where the artist is wel- comed for the excellence of his art irre- spectlve of the colour of his skin, she has received tremendous praise and all the hon- ours that follow recognized genius. But in New York the doors of the Metropolitan Opera remained closed. From time to time influential individuals and organizations made representations to the "Met" man- agement to have the restriction removed, but it was all no use; the chief shame of 'Amerlcan-society extended to the theatre Ind..aJt other cultural institutions. Until gtlte recently, that is. 1'. o'llf.o.,ubt, the supreme Court's anti-l segregation ruling last Spring had some- thing to do with it, as did an awakening public opinion which at long last is being centered on the fact, which should have been recognized long ago, that racial dis- crimination helps no one but the Com- munist propagandists who have been cry- ing out all along, and with some reason. that the United States talks freedom and practices something very akin to slavery. Anyway, whatever the reason or reasons. the general manager of the Metropolitan Association just the other day invited Miss Anderson to take a leading part in this season's performances. Her chief role will be that of Ulrica in Verdi's "Masked Ball” under the direction of Dimitri Mitropoulos. Miss Anderson, after consulting with Mr. Mitropoulos to make sure that her voice is suitable for the important role, graciously accepted the belated invitation. And so, after many disappointing years, a fond dream has been realized. It is, of course. a triumph for Miss Anderson, al- though her fame is already so great that one more honour will not enhance it very much. It represents, too, a creditable bit of thinking on the part of the Metropolitan management. But. above all, it is a tri- umph for the many thousands of right thinking Americans, both white and Negro, who, patiently and in the face of seeming- ly insuperable opposition, have been trying to persuade the nation that racial discrim- ination is as stupid as it is unjust. 4-H club Work Rupert D. Ramsay, Director of Exten- sion at the University of Saskatchewan, was for many years in charge of 4-H club work in that province. Some time ago he aptly summed up some of the intangible bncfits which young people receive from 4-H training when he said: "Underlying all the training, of course, is a series of basic truths and philosophies rcgarding life, the soil, and nature. Almost unconsciously, the club member develops a higher regard for the business of farming. He learns how pieces of the jig-saw puzzle fit together, and he takes home to the kitchen table the things he learns at cluli meetings. The club becomes a family at- fair, from which every member of the fam- ily, perhaps unconsciously, absorbs the homely philosophy of the good life. ”The family then becomes the board of directors of a business, with each member developing a personality that counts for something. Father-son, and mother-daugh- ter relationships are built up that endurc the test. of,timc. Over and over again, par- ents have reported to our office that club work has wrought a change in their family -and always for the better.” EDITORIAL NOTES The dairy industry should employ some of the latest" sales promotion techniques, in- cluding vending machines and charge ari- counts, even if this means violating sacred cows, an economist told Quebec dairymci recently. I O I The Queen Mother's visit to the United States and Canada is at the invitation of Columbia University, New York City, which was founded by royal charter in 1754 as l(ing's College. In no small measure the Declaration of Independence was the source of the present Commonwealth as well as of the United States. 0 O O A British Labour Party leader, Sam Watson, is baffled by the Soviet idea of 0 classless society, having observed that Sov- iet railways have four classes of travel. Tilt fact is, of course, that Soviet government is far more Russian than Communist and is still less than a lialf-century from tll(' middle ages.

Relatively little can be done in this Province unless, of course, the build- ing of some of our causcways can be re- gardetl as part of the scheme. I I D It is not news that, much of Eastern Canada and the Maritinics were once cov- ered by water. Salt deposits and a great deal of other evidence indicates that It was so. It is surprising, however, to have two scientists say that the St. Lawrence valley and other parts of Quebec rose from thc sea as recently as 2,500 years ago. This is the New World but it will take a good deal of evidence to convince people that it is as new as all that.

POTATO MARKETING BOARD'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Sir.-Since starting to write this lcltfr I note the annual statcinents of the Potato Marketing Board the publishing of which has sc frequently been requested by me. are In the press of the twenty-. sixth. Thanks Mr. MacDonald. In- t'-reste:l parties can now more eas- ily follow my letter. In my last letter to the prcss I wrote to the effect. thzit. the coni- meiils of the auditor in his report must be read in conjunction with E. I. Potato Marketing Board. A paragraph in the auditor's re-, port. on the Potato Board": fin-, ed May 31, 1952, reads: Potato- of the Advance from the Promotion Committee of the nciists which the Committee would The ad- stlll subject to ic- V:lllCCS are 4 however, if Colldltio : payment. warrant." The advances from the Potato, Promotion Board then tctallrd 510,-: 060.00.

The ”lf conditions warrant" are mcnn-1 inglssa since the amount would continvie to be ii llilblllly vilictlici: or not conditloiis would irarrvnt repayment. In this sentence, the tiudttor says in cffcct that the Potafo Boar.-its financial rer:o:l l incomplete. Its stateniciit of ex- plcte. The auditor says, too. in J?! :."tlll'3 paragraph, "The Board m-iy charge against. these amounts pro-, motioiicil expcnscs which the Com: mlttcc would ordinarily spend it- self." In emencc this statement means that the auditor has satis- fied himsnlf from the records of the Potato Board and from Mr- respondencc in its files (sec. "C' in my letter in the press of ()c.ao;r 26) that the loaner of the Sl0,000.00. the Potato Promotion Commlttcc. autliorized the Potato Board to up-, nly nzr.liist the loan a certain class of expenditures which. accordiiiz to the financial statenicnt of '7::: Potato Board, it. nppenrs to have done to he extent of 55,235.21. Hence the auditor rays in the one nnd iswme paragraph that he has satisfied hlrr.'-.elft.hat.acertaln class of expenses of the Potato guard which totalled 85,235.24 represented :1 payment on account. of the 310.- 000.00 loaned the Potato Board. but that, notwithstanding this. the full nmount. advanced was still siibji-ct. to repayment. Frankly, I cannot understand it. It may be lilgher mathematics than covered by my schooling. The fact remains. howcvcr, that the records of the Potato Board and letters in its files. nccordinz to the auditor. supplied enough evidence to warrant ii statement to the effect that the Board could charge a certain class of expenses against the loam. This implies that th: answers given by the Hon. Mfu- lster of Agriculture in the Legis- lature to questions asked by Mr. George Kltaon (us "3" in my let.- ter In the press of octobe 26) were not entirely correct. This matter cannot be passed over llchtly and the more so since the auditing firm has been clused as a reputable one. A paragraph in the auditor's re- port. on the Potun Bou-in fin- nnclll stlhmcnt for its year end- ed May 01, um. reeds: "l.'xpe'nul directly attributable to ulu promotion have again been charged Initial. advances. received from the Potato Promotion Com- mittee of the Department of Agri- culture. and such expanse: have new exceeded the tom udvoncu by 00.08. which man nu bun tn- dudldmhorowlgtlmlqlfm v if. . - u l the financial statements of the P.'The rain falls still,-the fruit. all uncial statement for its year end-lThe furvowed "There is a change in the st.atu::;EacIi bursting pad of talents De-l And all tiiul. once received the partment of Agriculture since our rain . last report.

I L TELEPHONE POSTS "Our City Fathers were busy yesterday. They had a grievance in the morning which in the eve- ning proved imaginary. The Rail- way officials in order to add to their official convenience, are about connecting their private residences and the Railway offices by tele- phones. A number of citizens ob- jected to having unsightly tele- phone posts sunk before their doors. They appealed to the Coun- cll to restrain their construction and a meeting was convened yes- terday morning to discuss the mat- ter. The following motion was passed: "Resolved: That complaints having been made by citizens of damage to their property by tele- phone posts. and in order to ascer- tain by what right telephone posts are now being sunk on the streets of this city, the City Surveyor be instructed to issue a s u m m o n s against the persons sinking such holes. and so test. the legal right. so to do, without the consent. of the Council.' "Shortly after this hasty re- solution was carried, our Fathers discovered that the 'pni-ties sink- ing the holes without assent of to do so. Not only can they on crouch on public property but on private as well. The genial Sur- veyor, therefore, will not have to pass through the ordeal of test- ing the rights of telegraphic or telephone companies to erect poles in the streets of Charlottetown." -The Examiner, Nov. 18, 1882. this letter has been acknowledged but the requezted permission has not been received. I am Sir, etc.. nilttce of the Department. of Agri- culture..." In cssence the auditor, has said that the o10.C00.00 lo-in-" the Potato Board by the Potato Promotion Committee has been, paltl in full through it contra ac-i count. but that, l10tWll.l1Sil1lldln';. llll",, the full amount. is still sub-; JOCI to repayment. Again mvl mathematics are not such as to ac.- abl: me to understand it. A paragraph in the aurlil.or'5 re- port on the Potato Board's financial statement for its year ended May 31. 1951, reads: "During the two precz-ding years, the amount of 510,000.00 was ad- vanc:d to the Board by the Potato Promotion Committee of the De- pertinent. of Agriculture. and dut- lng the same period this money was used for promotional expenses which that Committee would or- dinally spend itself. The advance was repaid during the year under i'evicv.', and clinrgrrl against the arc-iimulnlcd Surplus." This reflects that. the 310,000.00 borrowed from the Potato Prom- otlmi Committee in earlier years had during the year under review been repaid. However. a comment in the auditor's report of one year earlier was to the effect. that the amount had been paid through n contra account. The liabilities of the previous year did not. include this amount. Among the sixty-four dollar questions are: 1. Why did the Potato Board not show the 810,000.00 as a. liability in its statement for its year ended May 31. 1053?
